NAME

debbugsconfig - copy basic debbugs configuration files from templates

SYNOPSIS

debbugsconfig

DESCRIPTION

debbugsconfig
will copy basic debbugs configuration files from templates if the files
do not already exist, and will also create BTS user documentation in
HTML and text.
It should be run on installation and whenever
/etc/debbugs/config
or
/etc/debbugs/text
are changed.

FILES

debbugsconfig
creates the following template configuration files in
$gConfigDir
(/etc/debbugs
by default):

Maintainers

This will typically be automatically generated.

Maintainers.override

Manual overrides for the maintainer index.

pseudo-packages.description

Descriptions of any entries in the system's maintainer index that do not
correspond to "real" packages.
For example, the Debian Project uses pseudo-packages for bugs against
facilities such as the Debian web site, the mailing list archives, and
the bug tracking system itself.

This may be used when several packages are produced from a single

with links in the web front-end.

(/var/lib/debbugs/spool
